Sonipat
Spend a half‑day in Sonipat: visit Baba Dham temple, Khwaja Khizr Tomb and, if time permits, Mojoland amusement park.
Sonipat is a small historic town in South Haryana, 59 km north of Delhi. Its main attractions are religious temples and a nearby amusement park, all reachable within an hour from the railway station, so a single day is sufficient.
